In Conversation with 2022 Royal Gold Medallist Balkrishna Doshi

In May 2022, RIBA President Simon Allford travelled to Ahmedabad, India, to present Balkrishna Doshi with the 2022 Royal Gold Medal.
Given in recognition of a lifetime’s work, the Royal Gold Medal is approved personally by Her Majesty The Queen and is given to a person or group of people who have had a significant influence on the advancement of architecture.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Doshi describes how his connection to India's culture and past, and the memories of his architectural gurus, have inspired him to create his award-winning buildings.

Like Ando and Wright, Doshi was self-taught -- yet the depth of meaning in their architecture transcends education.

Doshi always talk about his Gurus, Corbusier and Kahn, reverently and showing respect for the end user of his architecture, is the essence of his life and teachings. In a way, his architecture attempts to connect the present to the past, providing a path to the future, and therefore, it is timeless.
